Twitterpated by Melanie Jacobson
Summary from Goodreads:
Jessie Taylor is furious when her roommate secretly posts her picture on the dating website LDS Lookup -- furious, that is, until she spends all night instant messaging Ben Bratton, a man whose wit and warmth just might make Jessie forget the train wreck of her last romantic relationship. Their first date is a smashing success (literally), but Ben's overall awesomeness can't save Jessie from having to deal with Craig, her competitive coworker whose baiting behavior sets new standards for obnoxiousness. Determined to beat Craig at his own game, Jessie spends long office hours finishing projects and putting out fires, but while her performance wows her boss, it only makes Ben skittish -- after a failed engagement to an up-and-coming lawyer, he's not about to pair up with someone who's married to her job. Will Jessie figure out how to be true to herself and take her big chance at love before it's gone with a click of the mouse?

My Review:
Another fun romantic story from Melanie Jacobson. I found this story a bit predictable, but it was fun and had a happy (although a bit short, gimme more!) ending. One of the things I like about Melanie Jacobson's stories is that they deal with some real personal, emotional issues. Yes, they are lighthearted and I usually read them in a day. But they also have characters that have problems that I think people can relate to. The way the story resolves in the books is not what would typically happen in real life (hey, it's a fiction story), but I think the characters are dealing with emotions and problems that do happen in real life.
I can't wait to read another book by her.
Warnings: None
I would let my 15 year old daughter read this book.
